How to Create Effective Cosmetic Packaging
Combine features that showcase your brand identity. What impression do you need to make once the customer sees your label? Are you an affordable brand for the girl next door or a luxury line worth investing in? The colors, shine, finish, and overall appearance should exude this image. Gloss or high gloss is perfect for bright and bold colors, while the matte finish brings out an understated elegance.
Employ design trends to stand out from the competition. Find the balance between modern and timeless in choosing the right trend. You want something that conveys relevance but won’t lose its appeal over time. For example, bold patterns and colors are a staple regardless of the current trends. Step away from the typical complimentary combinations and try out bolder mixes between yellow and purple or black and neon pink. If your brand needs a softer look, florals and minimalist designs have also stood the test of time.
Find the best central point in the entire design. Your overall design can’t be too busy or loud. In one glance, the customer should be guided toward your logo or the product name—whichever will confirm that your item is what they’re looking for.
Make sure the size and shape you choose can achieve this. It shouldn’t be too big that the identifier isn’t distinct or too small that it eats up the supporting information (e.g. net weight, purpose, brand name, etc.) that they’ll need while checking out your product.
Need a print-ready file to help you start on the design? Download any of the available cosmetic label templates in your preferred size and shape. All downloadable files include the trim, bleed, and caution line to ensure an accurate print.
Print on a material that will keep the look fresh and clean. The cosmetics label will have to withstand the wear and tear of regular use. For items that will be displayed and used indoors, print in 70 lb. label. Skincare items or any toiletries used in the bathroom should be printed on waterproof vinyl.

Cosmetic Labels FAQs
The cosmetic label has two parts, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA):
- The principal display panel (PDP) shows the name of the product or identifies what it is. It also contains the net quantity of contents or the amount of the product. It is stated in weight, numerical count, measure, or a combination of weight/measure and numerical count. Place the net quantity at the bottom area of the PDP.
- The information panel of the label contains the name and place of the business or distributor. The address should include the street address, city, state, and zip code.
If the distributor is different from the manufacturer, this information also needs to be indicated with the phrase “Distributed by”, “Manufactured for”, or other similar wording.
Check out the FDA regulations on how to label cosmetic products here.
Yes, all cosmetics sold or produced for sale need to list all ingredients. The ingredients should be clear enough that the consumer can read it while shopping for the item. The list of ingredients is normally placed in the package’s informational panel.
Ingredients are listed “in descending order of predominance,” according to the FDA. Make sure to use the established name or those that have been adopted by regulation. Cosmetics that are also considered drugs first need to indicate the active drug ingredient before declaring the cosmetic components.
Be sure to add the appropriate label warning if the cosmetic is applied incorrectly and the correct directions for the product’s safe use.
Cosmetic products like mouthwash, fresheners, other oral hygiene items, and sanitary care products need to be in tamper-resistant packages. A tamper-resistant package includes a barrier or indicator to entry like a sealed carton, pouch, or tape seal.
These regulations are important to keep in mind, especially for a private label cosmetic manufacturer. The rules ensure you comply with the rules and inform consumers accurately about your product.
